Somewhat different landscape than when they tried to do this more than a decade ago.  A huge part of the inventory was made up of a tanking Astro team pulling a zero share.  Things are a bit rosier these days.  The Rockets will still be an anchor, though.

    Going through old pics because of the death of my grandmother / mom and came across this -- 1996, my son's first Astros game.

The Houston Chronicle reports that the Astros’ and Rockets’ carriage deals with AT&T, Comcast, and DirecTV run through 2032, part of the reason they’re so interested in acquiring the RSN.

Not if they somehow get the #1 pick and sign Harden.

I miss Zack. One of the most entertaining players ever. Whenever he pitches, you’ll probably see something you’ve never seen. These are all from last night  

 

"There's that slow curve."

 

LOlz.

Grienke is one of the best 'characters' in the game.

Looks like Urquidy will get the start tonight against Canada.  The winner of that one will be guaranteed to advance.

Pitch your clutch dude in the most important game.  I was surprised DR used Javier against Nicaragua instead of saving him for Puerto Rico.  Now they have Cueto going in the elimination game.

The carriage is already negotiated and would go to the teams. 

Love this. Blanco has been great so far and excited to see how he does a a starter. We are deep with SPs, which is a great problem to have.

And you can never bee too deep at SP or relief pitching for that matter.  An injury or two and it's good to be in a "next man up" situation.

I’m calling bullshit on 92 mph fastball. Wasn’t he topping out at like 89 as an Astro?

It’s a shame Greinke wasn’t born/developed as a leftie. He’d either be a Hall of Fame RF or he’d pitch into his late 40s.

I can't find max pitch speeds for his Astro years. Last season he averaged 89.1 on his fastball but it topped out at 93.0

Always go with the old eyeball test. 

Machete got a bunt base hit lol

Yeah, he needs to cut out the head first slide into 1st though

Bryan Abreu comes in with first and second occupied. Lindor got an RBI single. Add another RBI single. Second one was unfortunate. It was a high hopper that bounced over the third basemen.

Abreu not doing his job. 

His job is to pitch for the Astros.

Machete doing Machete things got two called strikes on back to back pitches out of the zone by a considerable margin.

For anyone that likes free money we are doing a contest on the basketball board for a little free money (it’s usually more- but shit- pimping ain’t easy this year in the real estate world) in the NCAA tournament. It’s free and not a normal bracket deal- kind of fun imo. 

I don’t know if anyone read the Gm article on Brown on MLB but he actually talked up Whitley, said he’s doing what he needs to do and they are excited about him. 
I know JL loved him. I know the last GM/development guys did not. 
FWIW. This is totally not a pump and dump scheme for my Whitley stock.

He will have to settle for being a HOF RHP.

We’re going to convince Cohen that Whitley can be Diaz’ replacement and get Francisco Alvarez and Starling Marte in return.  Hell, get them to throw in Verlander to make it even.

And pitch into his late 40’s.

the american starting staff leaves a lot to be desired, but the bullpen is no joke.  says a lot that pressly is getting the 9th, and it's much preferred to the way relievers are used during regular spring games.

also nice to see us fucking with flaherty pretty good today.  he's had a good bounceback spring and was once an ace.

also is "ronel blanco" the two-word answer to why was whitley sent down so quickly?

Great outing for Ronel today!

do we tandem start with hunter to keep innings down in april/may?  i don't know what we do with this dude.  even with lmj out, there's no real role for him.
